Default OBD1/OBD2 Mixmatch!?!??!

im building an lsvtec. i was gonna do all OBD2, use my civic engine harness (vtec), and obd1 ECU w/ conversion harness, and thats that.
BUT
i may get a deal on a obd1 GSR head. if i were to use that with my OBD2 block, what would i run into? or would i just use my civic engine harness (from obd1) and obd1 ECU and thats it? or is anything special required? thanks!

You were putting this into an OBDI car and you were going to try to make it OBD2?

You're over-complicating. Use an OBD1 engine harness and a OBD1 ECU. There will be one plug you will not use, which will be near the crank pully.

i was going to use an OBD2 setup (head and block) With the OBD1 p28 ecu, and the conversion harness - basic setup

what i was saying is, if i use and OBD1 gsr head instead of OBD2, what will be different besides not needing the conversion harness...?
